Art can show how religion and gender can affect one another in many different ways. I selected the Christ and the Adulteress, located at the Getty Center. Which was painted in the 1620’s. This painting shows a mysterious woman being punished while men are listening to Jesus’ final judgement. I want to focus on how gender and religion were treated during the 17th century.

It gives a lesson on how both genders are facing the problem, and what religion guidance they have to do in order to fix
